​

Character: A diverse route featuring a slow and technical section through Hatira Canyon, a short ascent, and a flowing ridge line from Meizad Zafir via Gav Yamin and Gav Mishmar back to Ein Yorke’am.​

Advantages: Up to Ma’ale Yamin the route is technical and canyon-like; from there it becomes a smooth, runnable trail

Disadvantages: No access by public transportation

Interest Point: Swimming at Ein Yerke’am or Gev Mishmeshit at the end of the route

Variation: The route can be shortened if needed by skipping Metzad Tzafir and turning north after Ma’ale Yamin. See route here.
